CVEID:CVE-2023-47038
**DESCRIPTION:**Perl is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking by the user-defined Unicode property. By persuading a victim to use specially crafted regular expression to compile, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system.
CVSS Base score: 7.8

CVEID:CVE-2023-39323
**DESCRIPTION:**Golang Go could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by improper enforcement of line directive restrictions in the “//go:cgo_” directives. By providing specially crafted input in the linker and compiler flags, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system. Note: The line directive requires the absolute path of the file in which the directive lives, which makes exploiting this issue significantly more complex.

CVEID:CVE-2023-39325
**DESCRIPTION:**Golang Go is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an uncontrolled resource consumption flaw in the net/http and x/net/http2 packages. By sending specially crafted requests using HTTP/2 client, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 7.5

CVEID:CVE-2022-30946
**DESCRIPTION:**Jenkins Script Security Plugin is vulnerable to cross-site request forgery, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input. By persuading an authenticated user to visit a malicious Web site, a remote attacker could send a malformed HTTP request to send an HTTP request to an attacker-specified webserver. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to perform cross-site scripting attacks, Web cache poisoning, and other malicious activities.
CVSS Base score: 4.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/226766 for the current score.
